If checked is turns additional "light sources" on to add
more contrast or brightness to the view. Remark: Adding more light might result in perception of some shift of
how the view coloured - this might be sometimes confusing the the viewer
with "overexposure".

Defines the
transparency of model surfaces.
AN opaque object is obscure. It obscures fully all objects located behind it.
It the opaque checkmark is removed, the opacity can be set to define the
degree of transparency of the object.

Changing this setting allows for the choice if objects are
shown as solid models or as wire frame (lines) only.

wireframe (setting)

Optimize

Coinciding ashlars of the model resulting from overlapping
elements (minimum grid) are analysed for equal properties and joined into
one object if possible.Remark: Turning this setting on is especially useful to eliminate
most of partly transparent planes nested within space areas which might be
distracting for the observer.

Spaces

Displaying of space elements (space boxes, shown partly
transparent) can be turned on or off.

Fit

The Position and scaling of the view will be adjusted to
show the whole component within the window.

The image of the 3D view is
copied onto the
clipboard.
The 3D view can be copied onto the clipboard to be pasted
later into another application (e.g. Word) from the clipboard - for
example for the purpose of integrating this 3D view into some user's report.

The View

The view shows the model resulting from the overlapping of all elements
entered within the component (this is the starting point of so called "minimum
grid").

How each element is shown depends on
element's type and colour assigned to is,
whereas:

Empty boxes are only visible if selected

Space boxes are shown partly transparent.

Element(s) currently selected in the element list are shown emphasized by
their edge lines.
